ATTN: Mr. M.E. Cross
Chief, Operations Division
Dear Mr. Cross:
The Fayetteville City Council net in special session at noon, Thursday, December 5, to discuss
the possibility of the City operating and maintaining a public use area on Beaver Lake.
{,
After a report from Mr. Masters, engineer for the Corps of Engineers from Little Rock, outlin#ng
the expense that the City of Fayetteville would incur in building and maintaining the proposed Hickory,
Creek Area, a motion was made by G.C. Thomas and seconded by Carter Short that since the Federal Govern-
ment will build, Maintain and operate this area, it would not be advantageous for the City to go to the
expense of assuming the responsibility of a boat dock and public use area for the direct benefit of the
City of Fayetteville.
When the Council passed the resolution in 1960 for a chance to particirate in the recreational
area of the Beaver Dam Lake, Hickory Creek area was to be a public use andaboat dock area. Since the
map has been drawn, the above has been changed to read "public use area". We submit a request that
this Hickory Creek recreational facility be designated as "public use and boat dock area".
f'
Yours very truly,
(s) Guy E. Brown
